I'm a little rusty with my German, though, so the song doesn't hit me as strongly in German as it does in English, BD. But German and Germans are always cool. I want a yellow pant suit!

Now for more 80's awesomeness, my other favorite German song:

Nena - 99 Luft Balons

I think the chorus flows better in German than in English. I don't know why, it just seems that way to me.


German:

Völlig losgelöst
von der Erde
Schwebt das Raumschiff
Völlig schwerelos

English:

Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home

I know some German because I took it in high school. If I made the effort to become fluent in it, I could probably pick it up quickly.
